I disagree. Phasing out new production of C02 producing vehicles benefits everyone and by extension, failing to encourage it hurts everyone. This isn't a localized issue. It isn't like Texas (for instance) can produce as much carbon dioxide as they want, and it will only affect Texas.

Yet the state you criticize (Texas) is leading the country in green, renewable energy [1]

I didn't research, I just picked one at random. Please replace Texas with whatever state you like. That isn't really the point.

Edit: And also, I just checked and Texas does NOT do very well on CO2 emissions per capita.

Edit: Also I did some more checking and Texas is not leading the country in renewable energy, it is 22nd
